If it were me, I'd wipe all that off, including the vertical shaft were the weep hole is, then just start using the machine!
If there's water getting down into the power unit, you'll know it quick enough. It will start oozing out a thick oil out of that weep hole, onto the cross brace, it find its way to that back leg, or drips off the brace onto the floor. You really can't change the oil. The power unit has to be removed, cleaned out, re assembled with new seals and gaskets ect ect. If that's whats happening, then you should look up Larry's thread titled "Moving a Maytag" Its a long thread, but well worth the read, as well as the detailed photos. Part of the thread, is servicing of the power unit! More than likely it leaked out from moving it. They don't like being on their side, if necessary for moving, they need to be face down. (The Maytag logo on the front needs to be down) HTH Keep us posted.. We like pics too! |
